SAN JOSE -- In a story that is racking up national headlines, police say a drug-addled Seaside man was the person who crashed his car into an East San Jose Walmart and bludgeoned customers and staff with a blunt object before he was tackled by onlookers Sunday morning.

Haamid Ade Zaid, 33, was booked into the Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run, being under the influence of drugs and resisting arrest, according to the San Jose Police Department.

Zaid is being held without bail in connection with the chaotic attack that rattled an Easter Sunday shopping crowd and ended with four people injured, one seriously. A Walmart employee was among the victims.

If this same incident happened in the Wall World in my town in Arkansas there would have been at least 25 weapons drawn from the concealed position to the target acquisition position. The perp would likely not have been charged with any crime and the tax payers of Arkansas would have saved thousands of dollars.

The car has the old blue license from CA that were allowed to be kept for collectors cars or some such. That is a well cared for car. I heard the guy shouted that thing Muslims do when commiting jihad. Alu Akhbar or something? I wonder where he got that car.
